Softsoap® Introduces Nutri Serums

image_jpeg_part - Softsoap® Nutri Serums Just in time for chilly temperatures and weathered skin, Softsoap® introduces Nutri Serums.  It’s the first body wash infused with nutrient rich softening Serum Pearls that help keep skin nourished and healthy.  With the fall season’s arrival and the hints of colder weather approaching, most of us will likely need moisture enhanced products to cure dry skin blues.

Being curious about this product since I have seriously dry skin all over my body, I put it to the test.  I had to see if it was something that can save my skin from the flaking, itching and dryness I deal with everyday.  Using body lotions is sometimes helpful, but it can be time consuming when I’m on the go and trying to get dressed immediately after applying them can be a challenge if not absorbed quickly.  The thought of having one product to cleanse, hydrate and soften my skin is a plus.

I used Softsoap® Nutri Serums exclusively for a 7-day period in the shower instead of my normal bar soap.  I enjoy the fresh scent because it’s clean and not heavily perfumed like most body washes.  The lather is rich and I use only a modest amount.   There is no slick film on my skin after I get out of the shower as I’ve experienced with other products that claim to be moisturizing.  I can tell the Serum penetrates my skin instead of just coating it.  I have truly had no flaking and less itching & dryness with the continued use of Softsoap® Nutri Serums everyday, without the need for additional lotions.

I’m going to keep this little gem in my shower and by using only one product, it will help me spend less on my household supplies as well as save time.  Believe me, those savings are welcome any day.  When I think of serums, high end beauty products often come to mind. Instead of breaking the bank, for a small price of $3.50 to $4.50, it is an affordable luxury that offers the advanced skin care benefits as more costly treatments.  Since I’m an avid label-reader, my only suggested improvement to the packaging of this product is the label on the back should be white or colored with larger print.  It’s a bit difficult to read with small print on a clear label.

I highly recommend (before you cover up with a sweater) to treat your skin with Softsoap® Nutri Serums. It is available in two variants; Restoring with Vitamin E and Moisture Retaining with Omegas 3 & 6.  They both offer essential nutrients (like shea butter and flax seed protein) and hydrators through innovative Serum Pearl technology. In addition, all Softsoap® BRAND pumps and bottles are coded for recycling which is kinder to our planet.  That just seals the deal.

De-Stress Your Body & Mind With Yoga

At the recommendation of a trusted friend years ago, I discovered the personal health benefits of practicing gentle yoga.  I’m in my mid-forties and when my friends hear me say something related to ‘yoga’, they jokingly tease me a bit.  They might chant the ‘Om’ mantra or humorously presume I can put one leg behind my head while balancing on the other.  I’m ok with their sense of humor.  We all know practicing yoga has become a new trend in recent years.  I think there will be even more awareness created in the times ahead promoting yoga for health of the body and mind.

I prefer practicing yoga in my living room or bedroom rather than attending a public yoga class.  (For those of you who go for the social aspect of yoga, I applaud you!)  A friend suggested that I check out this particular product and I’m glad I did!  By following the DVD A.M. and P.M. Yoga featuring Rodney Yee and Patricia Walden in my own space, I can let my inhibitions go and submerge myself into a private, transformational workout.  This Gaiam DVD led me to a positive yoga experience on a daily basis.  The style of teaching is so simple and I had noticeable results in about a week after starting to practice daily.  Now, I continue to grow with the same two dynamic programs by deepening the stretch and intensifying the same basic poses.

I rise early in the morning so I practice A.M. Yoga with Rodney Yee while still in my pajamas.  It gets my mind & body in gear for the day ahead.  P.M. Yoga with Patricia Walden is my way of de-stressing when I get home from work and change into some comfy clothes.  The poses in this segment have a way of helping you achieve a good night’s sleep.  I’ve improved my flexibility, along with muscle strength and toning, in addition to reducing arthritic pain that I need to keep under control.  All these benefits, while burning calories and building a healthy habit for more energy at the same time!  My stress level has decreased immensely with the relaxation techniques in these two sessions.

We are all busy with life commitments and obligations; kids, work, school, errands, etc.  You may think there is not enough time in the day for a yoga workout…yet, the time I spend with the A.M. and/or P.M. sessions is so minimal, there is no reason NOT to do it.  Honestly, I look forward to it and I’ll warn you… yoga for the body & mind is addictive.  If you are just discovering yoga or even if you are already practicing, the poses in the A.M. Yoga session are not difficult to do.  The P.M. Yoga session is more challenging, yet simple enough for a novice.  Just do only what your body allows without discomfort.  Pace yourself.  It is recommended to become familiar with the safety guidelines at the beginning of this program or any exercise activity.  Treat your body & mind with this journey to fitness and begin to de-stress yourself.

A.M. and P.M. Yoga is available at Amazon.
